Let it seat for 15 min, and use a red scotch brite... May need to repeat if needed... use additional tools if desired (toothbrush) -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

that mix worked well for most of the parts that i had to clean, but i now have a need for ALOT of aluminum cleaning to do, so i went with one of the least expensive options.. after reading a few other threads on this subject (specificly on cleaning the head) i decided that my second solution to go with would be Simple green.. i have used the stuff b4 as a soak, and worked well, but at the time it was $3 a gallon, now this stuff is $6 for 2Ltr. cheapest i could find it... with the target of over 10gal, this was still one of my best options since i dont have a sealed tank, and petroleum based option (miniral spirits, kero, diesel) would evaporate. with the simple green most of what would evaporate would be water, so i could just add some more later.. also, i wanted to keep the concentration as high as posible, so w/ 12Ltr at full i was able to only cut it w/ a 3:1 ratio (water/simple green).. still damn strong.
